So in all my fortresses today I had a personal first. 

I've had a FB wandering around my first cavern layer for about a year.  He's been happily running a non-profit troglodyte "relocation" program down there that we've been happy to subsidize.  This past month I got another FB notice so assuming he had left the caverns and returned I checked but NOPE it was a new FB.  So this is the first time I've had two of them running around in my caverns.

I went to check out the new one and it made an immediate bee-line for the first FB and one-shot him off the face of the planet. 

Anyway, just thought it was interesting as a personal first for me to see some Beast on Beast action.

It's actually a little scary when that strange, wing-ed snake with undulating antennae (or whatever) kills like four different forgotten beasts and keeps adding more and more to it's title. You end up with this paragraph-for-a-name creature running around being all menacing and alpha, killing literally everything.

And when they disappear into the unexplored bits of the cavern, you can never really be certain if they have finally moved on (after half a decade of troglodyte terrorism) or if they're just lurking around the bend. I don't open the caverns much heh

My caverns get explored by my expendable army of silk collectors. I started putting their coffins in the caves as a memorial, but then a troll smashed them.

I found a name I didn't recognize on my engrave slabs list. Found the corpse on the stocks screen, and it turned out to be a named crundle that had killed a cat's eye lobster FB that I had left wandering around my caverns. Saw the FB's severed leg earlier, but didn't realize it had died an off-screen death in the unexplored areas.

Edit: Apparently the crundle had died of its wounds.

I had a beautiful event of FB-on-fire-imp violence. They were engaged in epic battle for weeks. Imp torched half the cavern before the FB finally put it out of its misery. Made finishing off the FB that much easier. Whole area is still covered in !!webs!!. Another webber wandered up into my graveyard. Dwarfs managed to shut him in while he went on a desecration spree. Had to engrave two dozen slabs. But they managed to trap him in there and carve out some fortifications. Melee barracks positioned right outside the forts make an endless supply of FB silk.

Hey, stop taking jobs from our valiant scout gander paratroopers!  A gaggle of lives given up so that dwarves may understand the terrors of the deep!  They will be missed during our All-You-Can-Eat-Wings Night.
